How to Set Up an Introduction Video before a Zoom Meeting?

Hello Zoom community,

I'm looking for a way to set up an introduction video that plays automatically before participants join a Zoom meeting. I've read in some places that this option is available, but I couldn't find it in my account settings.

Can anyone guide me on how to enable this feature? I'm using the latest version of Zoom and have a regular account. Are there any specific prerequisites or additional steps I should follow to activate this functionality?

I appreciate any assistance you can provide in advance.

Hello,

 

If you use the waiting room feature you can have a video that the user can watch before letting the participants into the meeting. The section on customizing the waiting room is most relevant;

 

  • A video: Display the title message and a video you upload. 
    • Video: Click Upload Video to select a file for upload. The video must be in MP4, MOV, or M4V format, and cannot exceed 30 MB. Videos can include sound, but are muted by default.

 

This Zoom support article explains the details.
